Is even become u reformer, and the democratic side of the House has reformed with him. How long this will last is quite doubtful. Lil:e all old and hardened sinners, he and they are more than ordinarily zealous in their pro- fessions of reform. It is to be hoped that, unlike this class of zealous reformers generally, they will not fall by the way-side after the election. My purpose in briefly alluding to this matter of reform is to institute a number of comparisons of expenses of the Government... boiween the years of democratic rule and the present republican rule. In i8;9 tlie expenditures of the Government were ^50, 934, 090; in 1S76 they were about ;f258, ooo, ooo in round numbers ; making a difference of $189, 000, 000 between the e. \penses of the Government in 1359 and 1876. This difference can be accounted for quite easily. Three causes account for it : First, the war and ths expenses incident thereto, which entail an expense of {170, 000, 000, divided as follows : Interest on the public debt about Jioo, ooo, ooo Pensions about 28, 000, 000 Expenses incident to the war 42, 000, 000 Total war expenses 170, 000, 000 Second, natural growth of the service with the growth of the country 10, 000, 000 New service, not in existence in 1859, 0, 000, 000 Total expenses for 1876 in excess of 1859 189, 000, 000 Add expenses of 1B59 69, 000, 000 Total for the service in 1876 238, 000, 000 Add nineteen millions to the cost of the service on account of the growth of the country to the sixty-nine millions, cost for 1859, and we have ciglity-cight millions as the present cost, less war expenses.
